Lots of problems with this superficial and cliche-ridden article... but I was particularly irked that Python was dismissed as being dynamically typed, yet Elixir was excused because of Dialyzer - first of all, what about mypy? Second of all, it's not the same thing as actual static typing. I get it - they like Elixir. But feigning objectivity here is extremely irritating (and culminates a pattern throughout the article).
It is fine - or at least only somewhat stupid - to have an arbitrary ranking of programming languages, though things like "no garbage collection is bad" is obviously domain-dependent and the author should be upfront about that. But it's extremely frustrating when people pin objective-seeming criteria on their personal preference with seemingly no hint of irony or self-awareness.
